Alert on App updates?

“Beaten by the system”

  • The script unintentionally follows Athom’s app update system:
    • only when Homey runs an app’s test version, new test versions will be announced
    • for stable apps, only updates for stable versions will be announced; new test versions are not announced, you’re supposed to know what you are doing, and able to find and install test versions manually
  • App Version Checker (AVC) app probably queries the version info in the app store, and finds test version updates for installed test- and stable apps.

I experimented a bit with querying the app store, but “I can’t make cheese of it” (Dutch saying :zany_face:)

Conclusion:

With the script you can find:

  1. test updates for test-only apps (those without a published stable version)
  2. stable updates for stable apps
  3. test updates for test apps

Next to these points, with the AVC app you can additionally find:
4. new test versions of installed stable apps.
5. direct links to the app page in the app store for quick updating
